You're coming around, brewingmeister. Keep in mind that the stainless lines are measured in OD. So the ID a 5/16" SS line is really 5/16 minus the wall width. The one I'm looking at is thin wall (.020"), so the ID is .3125" - .040", so .2725"...pretty close to the .265" ID of the Bev-Seal Ultra...

I'm planning to start with a small pump in a bucket of water in my fridge. A 1/2" ID poly line will be tightly wrapped with my beer line and then the beer & glycol lines will be wrapped in insulation. I anticipate this not working well enough and having to try something more substantial...

I hear you, Brewerforlife. I have some chilling plans that will hopefully work out.

Hi, Golddiggie. I calculated my line diameter and length by using the equation in the Beer Line Length and Elevation section of this web page. My keg fridge will be in my basement, so there's lift to think about. If I follow the equation I end up having to use 5/16" instead of something...

Wasn't thinking of the effect on the overall resistance as much as how it will affect the pour since it's a sudden spike in resistance just before the beer leaves the tap. Think it will mean foamy beer? Maybe there's only one way to find out...

8-10 feet elevation gain and balancing calculations tell me to use a 16 ft. line, but I haven't taken the shank resistance into account yet.

After calculating resistance for the tap system I'm about to set up, I'm going to have to use 5/16" lines. Does anyone see a problem with using a shank with a 1/4" bore at the tap end of the line? Will the sudden drop in size at the very end of the line cause foaming or anything? I have seen one...

Bobby_M, I don't disagree that it's a little overboard, but that's the way it is for me. I don't use any plastic or teflon or anything synthetic in my kitchen at home, and I'm trying to do the same with my beer. I actually found the disconnect I was looking at for $19 so that's not too bad, but...

Thanks, JuanMoore, I'll try that. I'll have extra from the coil I'm buying anyway, so it couldn't hurt. I can just keep the extra coiled inside the fridge and trim it if I need to. I know SS will be a pain to work with but I've picked a relatively simple locating for running the lines and I...

Thanks for both of the responses. I'm sure the bev-seal lines work great, but I'm one of those people who stays away from plastic and plastic-ish as much as possible. You're probably rolling your eyes, right? I just don't trust anything. We were told for so long that all the plastic we ate out...

I've been lurking around this forum for a while and it's a great resource. This is my first post, so be gentle. I'm moving my keg fridge to the basement and running a line up to a tap on the first floor. I'm doing my best to use all stainless fittings, so part of that is that I'm planning to...
